            Nearly 200 Mises Institute Supporters, faculty, and staff gathered
            in October in Hilton Head, South Carolina, for the 2024 Supporters
            Summit. The event brought friends from around the world together
            to spend their weekend in fellowship with what Albert Jay Nock,
            author of Our Enemy, the State, describes as “the remnant.”
            We had a fantastic lineup of speakers and all the presentations were
            connected by the same message: government is our common
            enemy. Some of our students talked about the role that donors’
            support has played in their intellectual development and personal
            trajectories.
            Our Supporters Summits are a wonderful opportunity to connect
            with the individuals who make the work of the Mises Institute
            possible. We thank everyone who was a part of this event for their
            dedication to our mission.


            The recorded lectures can be found at mises.org/SS2024.




            ELECTIONS AND THE ECONOMY:

            DO THEY REALLY MATTER?

            FORT MYERS, FLORIDA                           Sponsored by Murray and Florence Sabrin

                                                          We met in Fort Myers, Florida, in the immediate aftermath of
                                                          the presidential election to discuss elections, the economy,
                                                          and whether they matter. President Tom DiLorenzo spoke on
                                                          the history of elections that changed the ideological tide of
                                                          the country, for better or worse. Senior Fellow Mark Thornton
                                                          spoke on how voting trends on prohibition are changing.
                                                          Walter E. Williams Research Fellow Wanjiru Njoya discussed
                                                          the growing backlash against the policies of the progressive
                                                          DEI regime. Murray Sabrin illustrated the damage caused by
                                                          the uniparty and how the fiscal crisis of runaway spending,
                                                          inflation, and regulations is the by-product of decades of
                                                          bipartisan cooperation in Washington.
